BREWERY CARBONATION &
NITROGENATION TECHNOLOGY
PROCARB TM
ProCarb is a state-of-the-art, industry leading inline
carbonation and nitrogenation system that delivers
extremely accurate, consistent, easy and quick inline
carbonation and nitrogenation.
ProCarb Mini is cost effective inline carbonation or
nitrogenation system designed to speed up and simplify
the process of carbonation or nitrogenation in
any craft brewery. The ProCarb Mini utilizes the same
proven technology found in the ProCarb but delivers it
in a smaller, ultraportable, lower cost package for
brewers wanting to reap the gains of quicker inline
carbonation, more precise carbonation control than
using stones, higher CO2 utilization, and reliable, maintenance
free operation with Allen-Bradley PLC control
and automation.
Saves time by instantly and accurately carbonating
beer, wine, cider and all types of carbonated beverages.
ProCarb is based on extensive research, development
and the science of how gases like, CO2 and N2 are absorbed
into beer. ProCarb combines this know-how
with computer control technology into a reliable, easy
to use, carbonation and nitrogenation system.
ProCarb can be used as a standalone, mobile, or integrated
costeffective system to precisely carbonate or
nitrogenate beer, reduce carbonation times by over
500%, increase CO2 or N2 utilization, improve carbonation
accuracy, save significant amounts of floor space
compared to brite tanks, and increase brewery sustainability
and reduce carbon footprint.
ProCarb employs unique gas injection and mixing
technology to ensure CO2 or N2 is optimally dispersed
and absorbed within the beer. Precise, PLC controlled
electronic flowmeters measure gas and liquid flow
rates to control very accurate injection ratios. Automatic
pressure control guarantees gas levels and saturation
pressures are always achieved and maintained
for optimal product stability and quality.

BREWERY CLARIFICATION &
SEPARATION TECHNOLOGY
PROCARB PLUS SYSTEM
Fermentation tank bottoms can contain over 75% perfectly
brewed beer, plus additional yield exists within
unclarified trub. Today’s centrifugal separation systems
and technologies can help breweries recapture on average
an additional 5-10% yield! ProBrew supplied separation
systems offer industry leading features such as:
: Wide range of brewing applications: hot wort,
cold wort, green beer, fermentation to brite tank,
pre-filtration/polishing, and beer recovery from trub
: Comprehensive Allen-Bradly PLC controls with automation
and instrumentation options – including flow,
turbidity and O2 sensors
: Duplex & Super Duplex Stainless Steel construction
of main bowl parts
: Best-in-class hermetic mechanical sealing technology
which reduces oxygen pickup
: Precision engineered, smoother, quieter, and lower
maintenance operation
Additionally, centrifugal separation and clarification is
not only more capable of producing clear, and more
consistently clarified beer than traditional DE or other
filtration methods, but the elimination of the costs
associated with DE (Diatomaceous Earth) and the
known heath concerns and risks associated with DE
has many brewers switching to centrifugal separation
systems.
ProCarb Plus instantly and precisely disolves CO2 or N2
inline with the centrifuge.
ProBrew is pleased to introduce ProCarb Plus – a first
of its kind, patent pending integrated ProCarb and
centrifugal separation system. This revolutionary,
proven process of carbonating or nitrogenating within
the centrifuge offers significant benefits such as space
savings, energy savings, tighter process control, precise
and stable carbonation and nitrogenation, and a significant
reduction of potential oxygen pickup within the
separator or throughout in the cellaring process.
Patented utilization of the centrifugal separator for gas
injection and absorption produces unmatched carbonation
and nitrogenation in the brewing industry.
Centrifugal forces equivalent to 17 G-force presents a
tightly compressed gas particle into the beer which
results in instant and complete absorption. The elevated
pressure achieved during the separation and gasification
process within the centrifugal separator exceeds normal
gas saturation pressures, thereby assuring that the gas
is fully dissolved in solution.

PROFILL CAN FILLER
All ProFill Bottle and Can models are offered with
the following standard features & technologies:
Pre-Evacuation for Minimized Air
Pickup During Filling:
: ProFill Bottle fillers incorporate an integrated vacuum
assisted air pre-evacuation system that pulls residual
air and therefore oxygen from the bottle once it is
sealed to the filling valve. This pre-evacuation technology
immediately reduces air and oxygen content
in the bottle.
: ProFill Bottle and Can fillers are true Isobaric (counterpressure-gravity)
style fillers that purge and counterpressure
the container with CO2 prior to filling. By
purging the container with CO2, the ProFill filling
system drives out even more air and oxygen from
the container, delivering best-in-class package
oxygen values.
PLC Controls & Electronic Automation
ProFill fillers utilize the most reliable and respected
industrial PLCs and components from Rockwell Automation
(Allen-Bradley) for superior automation and
production reliability. The Logix PLC monitors all functions
of the system ranging from filling bowl level and
pressure settings, product temperature, container
presence, container jam, crown or can-end presence,
production speed, and many other critical parameters.
The integrated PLC with 10” color touchscreen HMI
(human machine interface) displays all functions,
conditions and alarm messages. The ProFill PLC can
even be integrated into the entire brewery network
to provide a single point of view of other brewery
functions from systems such as: ProBrew, ProCellar,
ProCarb or more.
